Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp's Underage Sex Ring

[johnny karate]

Upon review, it seems the sarcasm in my previous post was not well communicated.

When I said:

And how about the pervasive liberal slant in that piece?

it was meant to convey just how much the article from the supposedly "lamestream media" seemed to coddle Live Action by not pointing out that they are dishonest provocateurs whose every word should be suspect.

In light of your previous posts in this thread, your sarcasm was quite obvious... at least to me.

I missed the sarcasm, but then I don't always recall who said what in the past so my aging memory puts me at a disadvantage picking up on lots of intended sarcasm.

You are welcome to blame me.

I blame you.*

I notice no one is bothering to defend this video as representative of the reality of what is happening at Planned Parenthood anymore. Is it possible that we all agree that the position presented in the OP is likely BS?

House GOP Starts to Embrace the Planned Parenthood Sting
February 09, 2011
(...)
But it's worth noting that Republicans who are trying to move anti-abortion legislation have grabbed the tapes with both hands. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. used floor time yesterday to promote the tapes.
(...)
And tomorrow, Lila Rose -- president of Live Action, the public face of the stings* -- is joining Pence for a press conference on his Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act. It was in the works before the video, but Pence is promoting it with Live Action's juice. (Also scheduled for the presser: Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO), Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC), Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY), Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD).)

*Actors performed the actual sting, not Rose, which makes sense given her celebrity.

It was predictable: House Passes Bill To Defund Planned Parenthood

Let's hope the Senate and public outcry thwarts this crap this time.

And shame on these 10 Democrats, kudos to the 7 Republicans:

According to MSNBC, ten Democrats voted to pass the measure, while seven Republicans voted against it.

The bill is not likely to make it through the Senate, where the Democrats have the majority, or to survive a veto by President Obama if it comes down to it.

I think they'll post the names of who voted tomorrow on this site if some news source doesn't post it first.

Hypocrites is too mild a word:

Speier went on. "Now you may not like Planned Parenthood, so be it. There's many on our side of the aisle that don't like Halliburton. And Halliburton is responsible for extortion, for bribery, for 10 cases of misconduct in the federal database, for a $7 billion sole-source contract. But do you see us over here filing amendments to wipe out funding for Halliburton? No, because frankly that would be irresponsible. I would suggest to you it would serve us all very well if we moved on with this process and started focusing on creating jobs for the Americans who desperately want them."...

..."The new anti-choice House leadership promised a jobs agenda and is now waging a war on contraception," Keenan said. "This is why elections matter.

I do have a life outside the Internet.

My life doesn't revolve around the rantings of some anonymous, nameless, faceless people on JREF.

Nor does it revolve around skeptically evaluating claims or admitting mistakes, or so it would appear.

Since you asked, you post multiple unsupported claims, demand people prove you wrong, then ignore their replies.

point me to a specific post you had in mind...

when I'm not here on JREF, I'm not ignoring people...I'm simply not on JREF because there are other more important things in my life than this message board.

what happened while I was gone??

Did PP rehire the employee they fired?

Back to the topic:

Here's a description of some of the services the abortion foes misguidedly want to eliminate the funding for: Attack on Planned Parenthood funding isn't about saving money

These funds have given millions of low-income women access to birth control, breast and cervical cancer screenings, pelvic exams and pap smears, high blood pressure checks, diabetes and anemia screening, testing and treatment for HIV and sexually transmitted infections. They support "Well-Woman Care" programs to encourage smoking cessation, reduce alcohol abuse, promote a healthy diet and protect against domestic abuse and sexual violence. And they support community education programs to prevent unintended teen pregnancy and the spread of STIs.

In 2010, these funds allowed Planned Parenthood's 21 Title X-supported clinics in Minnesota to serve 52,482 patients - the vast majority of them women over age 18 at or below federal poverty level. They seek to plan their families, continue their educations and protect their own health.

I got birth control from PP when I was a teenager. That's why I'm writing another check for them today.

The moral police are upset about anything from sex education to birth control to treatment for STDs because these sin stalkers think these services facilitate sinners sinning.

Republicans focus attack on Planned Parenthood

As reported in the story, “Planned Parenthood under attack” [News, Feb. 14], Delegate Robert Marshall of Virginia’s House claims that Planned Parenthood is responsible for an increase in out-of-wed-lock pregnancies, adolescent sex and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). He needs to look in the mirror.

Efforts by Republicans to ban medically accurate sex education and family planning caused teen pregnancies and STDs to rise in the Bush era. Political successes by evangelicals have forced their misguided reproductive-health views on women nationwide and encroached on our basic freedom.

With GOP Rise, Abortion Foes Gain Confidence

ROVNER: Well, when it comes to abortion, both parties have members on both sides of the issue. But right now, it's fair to say that there are fewer Republicans who support abortion rights then there are Democrats who oppose abortion. And in the Senate, in particular, there are way more Democrats than Republicans who are up for re-election in 2012, and many of them are from states that it's going to be very difficult for Democrats, like Virginia and Montana and Florida. So it's hard to imagine that those senators want to vote repeatedly on abortion, which is, of course, exactly what Republicans would like to force them to do.

Why do Repubs court the anti-abortion fanatics? Because they are one issue voters. Why do church leaders foment hate against abortion providers and laws protecting women's rights? Because it keeps the pews filled. Same with the homophobe promotion.

Be you a political leader or a religious leader, those enemies are oh so useful: Satan, abortion providers, Muslims; as are those causes you can recruit your followers to work toward: war on terrorism, stopping abortion, condemning gay people. We've known this for centuries yet the ruse still works.

How about the OP? The one where you uncritically accepted the video even though the exact same ploy was used by James O'Keefe to successfully fool people about ACORN? Do you think that this group would follow his example for everything but the selective editing of their raw footage?

Lila Rose's Bizarre, Misleading Letter To Eric Holder
February 14, 2011

Lila Rose, having failed to produce results through her strategy of releasing innocuous videos and making stuff up about their contents, is now playing a different angle: she's dropped the whole pretense of "evidence" and is now just straight-up begging the Justice Department to investigate Planned Parenthood for reasons that make absolutely no sense.
(...)
But let's put Rose's prior crimes against logic aside and focus on the new information Rose presents in this letter. She claims that Live Action never visited any Planned Parenthood clinics in Indiana. All we know about those visits is that Planned Parenthood says they happened -- and that Planned Parenthood reported them to the FBI.

So Rose's case amounts to this: an organization discovered evidence of a possible crime and reported it to the authorities; therefore, that organization should be investigated for possibly aiding and abetting. On what planet does that make any sense at all?

Rest of article details here.

Interestingly, Media Matters linked back to her letter, but evidently she removed it.

The best she could do was "applaud" the House defunding vote of PP.

They used a ploy and deception and lied to PP...just as they did with Acorn.

Mayor Bloomberg recently sent law enforcement to AZ to purchase firearms at gun shows, they also used deception and lied.

When Dateline NBC was doing it's "To catch a predator", they also used deception and lied to catch criminals.

PP already admitted its employee did something wrong here.

They ALL have an agenda.

O'Keefe, Bloomberg, Dateline, Acorn, etc.

what's your point??
